The BenQ TH671ST projector isnt meant to be portable as it doesnt have any automatic geometry correction features, and you need to plug it in as it doesnt have an integrated battery. As its only 5.9 pounds, its still pretty easy to carry around. It doesnt have an adjustable stand, but it does have slightly adjustable feet. It has one 5W speaker, so you don't absolutely need to connect it to a soundbar or sound system.This DLP projector uses a lamp as its light source, which can last from 4000 to about 15000 hours, according to the manufacturer, after which youll need to swap the lamp for a new one. As its a 1080p projector, its limited to outputting a 1080p @ 60Hz resolution and doesnt have HDR support. Its a short throw projector, so you can place it close to the screen as it projects a 60 image at a distance of ~3 feet up to a 180" image at a distance of ~9 feet. Its 1.2x optical zoom lets you adjust the projection size without physically moving the unit.

Viewing Experience | The BenQ TH671ST projector delivers a satisfactory viewing experience, particularly in darker environments, thanks to its acceptable native contrast. While it features a wide color gamut and performs well with SDR content in the Rec. 709 color space, its brightness is mediocre overall, making it less suitable for well-lit rooms. The projection suffers from noticeable dimming at the edges compared to the center, which may affect the viewing experience. However, it maintains a pleasant quality in dim settings, making it a viable option for those primarily watching in darker conditions. |

System Experience | The BenQ TH671ST is a straightforward projector designed for users who prioritize basic functionality over smart features. It offers solid performance with two HDMI 1.4 ports, allowing for high-definition content playback up to 1080p at 60Hz, along with HDCP 1.4 support for streaming and physical media. The inclusion of MHL support is a practical feature, enabling direct connections from mobile devices. However, it lacks smart capabilities, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi, which may limit its appeal for those looking for a more connected experience. The built-in 5W speaker provides basic audio output, but users seeking enhanced sound may need external solutions. Overall, the TH671ST is a reliable choice for those focused on essential projection needs without the frills of modern smart technology. |
